Live axle mods.

[abrahamk]

Errol et. al. I have got some quotes for a diff. conversion. Bosjnak Engineering were the best, I thought, and wanted $2500 for new housing, axle tubes, 4 pinion BTR LScentre,my choice of ratio, and VR commodore calipers and discs. All new components, except for the discs. This guy won't use second-hand parts, but those that will want at least $900 in labour to shorten etc.. a Pintara/Skyline axle - and I would have to supply the parts and hope they last.    That kind of money is more than I have spent on the car so I'd like to try using a Bluebird axle. I have just done some quick measuring and the Stanza is ~1285mm backing plate to backing plate, and the Bluey is 1313mm. I know of two s3 Bluebird TRX's in my area that are available for wrecking Q1. Are all s3 TRX's LSD? Q2. Do you think that this conversion will work? (obviously suspension pickup points will have to be converted to Stanza spec.) Note that body width at rear axle is qouted in the homologation papers as 1600mm, I can lip but not flare the guards. Q3. I know that you (Errol) recommended 3/4 degree camber and 3mm toe for the rear axle, but where do you measure the toe from, or what is the figure in degrees? Thankyou in advance Nick. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
